Abstract
- The thin Hf(sub 0.6)Si(sub 0.4)O(sub x) and Hf(sub 0.3)Al(sub 0.7)O(sub x) films, which are fabricated by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition and atomic-layer-deposition techniques, are characterized using monoenergetic positron beams. The results show that positron annihilation parameter is sensitive to change in the matrix structure of amorphous high-k materials and can be used to determine process parameters for the fabrication of high-k gate dielectrics.
